Bowers did not look good at the practice I went to or in the preaseason game against 2nd and 3rd stringers. He does not look like a starting DE. He looks more like a goalline package 5 or 7 technique. He has lost that explosion to his first step, he looks like he lead in his shoes. He anchors well against the run but has no quickness off the ball. I’m hoping that it’s just conditioning and the stress he’s been under from the gun charge. One thing to mention though is Demar Dotson has absolutely dominated him all preseason and the world is about to know who he is. If Bowers doesn’t make any splash plays this game then there is reason for concern at OneBucPlace.

Sun, 11 Aug 2013 19:50:43 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2202214#comment-2714398Hard to tell why he was once considered a top 3 pick in the draft.. besides his injury, there has to ne more to why he fell so far in the draft, & I think we’re all finding out. Me as a fan hate hearing about these kids having so much potential coming out of college but never amount to anything.. If I hate it I can imagine how coaches feel!!

The season is only a couple of weeks away.

Amazed a coach like Schiano allowed this to happen.

Putting him on the field is the only way to tell if he’s a player or not. Fish or cut bait.
